“God has now spared my life”, the Orange Messiah told an arena full of his MAGA disciples last night. The expert showman waited a beat before he completed his thought: “Not once but twice.”

It is a miracle the Almighty did not smite him for daring to invoke His Name, when the only deity Trump worships is himself. Former aides have confessed that in private the amoral sociopath mocks and ridiculous his evangelical followers.

On July 13, 2004, Trump survived an assassination attempt while speaking at an open-air rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. A bullet, or more likely a fragment of a bullet, barely grazed his ear, although the drama queen wore a bandage resembling a Kotex pad for days afterward.

On September 15, 2004, a man who was 400 yards away from Trump, and who didn’t have a line of sight, ran away without getting off a shot, when Secret Service agents shot at him when they noticed him holding an assault rifle in the perimeter of Trump’s golf course.

Have these two foiled assassination attempts led Trump to examine his life and his campaign? Has he toned down his hateful rhetoric, has he stopped demonizing immigrants and stopped spreading conspiracy theories that are calculated to inflame passions?

Trump is still the same petty, vengeful, obscene racist and raving lunatic. In fact, he’s doubled down on his campaign of spreading despicable lies and treating his opponents with contempt.

Ineffectual would-be assassins have failed to rid the world of this stinking pile of human feces, it’s up to the electorate to flush him down the toilet.
